4 day back pack from colonial creek to Stehekin high bridge. Trail crew had just finished work on the trail and it was in excellent shape. Very few blowdowns or brushy sections. Incredible huckleberry crop everywhere! Very quiet until we got to the PCT. Small creeks are dried up, but still plenty of water. Lightning storm started a couple new fires in the area while we were out. All campsites require a permit through recreation.gov
